Book Cover of the Proceedings During my Masters I worked on a project called Robosculpt. Since then, Jason and I wrote a paper on the project explaining our methodology and results. We were pleased to be accepted as one of the few Full Papers at the RobArch 2012 conference. You can buy the book online at amazon. And download my chapter here. Photo […]
I have recently finished my Masters, but during the early stages I had wrote an extended abstract of the progress of my research along with some additional work I was doing with Jannani Viswanathan, a graduate student in mechanical engineering. We met during Dr. Melissa Gross class for motion capture and decided to work together. It was great working with her and in […]
After a year and a half I have finished my Masters of Science in Architecture with a concentration in Digital Technology at the University of Michigan. My research was based on simulating and visualizing the human body within architectural space. The overall subject of my research was in the need to have these performative ratings of space in order for Universal Design to thrive. […]
After a few months, the RoboSculpt project finally has a real example. Awhile back I blogged about a new project I had started for a digital fabrication class required of the MSDT students. When Wes McGee helped me cut some tests and I did some fiberglass layups, I gained some more excitement on the project. The normal semester took over most of my time, […]
Update: http://www.smartsculpture.com/2012/05/robosculpt-synergy-between-sculpture.html For the past few years I have walked by the KUKA robot at the University of Michigan architecture FabLab and couldnt wait to use it. It took until this Masters of Science program that I was able to do work with the robot. During my BFA in sculpture I had a few ideas for what I wanted to do on the […]
2011 was another adventurous year. Besides for my traveling to southeast asia again, I have had my work shown in a few places. I am writing this in part to have a post consolidating the highlights of this blogs work in the past year, as well as to finally give some link backs to the people kind enough share this blog. I have been waiting to […]
This was a project done in Movement Science 437 taught by Dr. Melissa Gross. I went into the class with the intention of using motion capture to help understand human movement relative to space. During the class I met Janani Viswanathan, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering. I was lucky enough that Janani offered to help with my research. After a motion capture session […]
The Umich CI Days is an annual conference at the University of Michigan that brings together different disciplines to discuss the current and future work of research related to Cyber Infrastructure. This year I was lucky enough to present in the poster conference and participate in some great meetings and lectures. I was part of two separate poster presentations. One was of my current […]
